Yesterday we got our caterpillers! Mine is named Mr. Fluffy Pants. That is so cute. I love my caterpiller.My caterpiller eats
== mallow plants.It is light purple and it has green leaves.They have bad eye sight and small brains poor them.Mine already knows how to dance he can even do the worm!I think thats so so so so cool.They are in small cups.They have a piece of tissue on the top of our cup that is where they hang to make there cocoon.Did you know that our butterflies only live for about two weeks that is not long.They taste with there feet and breath through they'er wings.A lot of people thought that was disgusting I do not think that is disgusting...Well anyway let's just get on to the facts ok .Mine is bigger than it was yesterday.He has eaten a lot !!!!!!!!!!! We are getting painted lady butterflies.That is a weird butterfly name.This is what they need food, water,shelter,and air.When they come out of they'er cocoon  they have wet wings and they'er crinkled up too.I can not wait til they turn Into butterflies...They are going to be so pretty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ==
